Location and View

Pros:

  • "The middle bar gets a nice breeze off the water when the doors open. Breath taking !!"

  • "This place is very hyped up but if you want to pay $$$$ for hype that's on you."
  • "They only had high top tables outside. They get uncomfortable the longer you sit on them."
  • "The food is expensive and average in quality. Worse than that is the very insulting sign they put up there as a joke, but it is quite insulting, even if it refers to old sign. “Unescorted Ladies are not Admitted”?! 😳"
  • "Loud and proud, but closed too early for outside dining at 4 on Sunday."
